Picture this: it’s nighttime in the summer and the wind is
whispering through the palm trees. The lights are mostly off and it's
time for a soak in your pool. The water is warm so there is no shock as you wade into the sparkling water.

Can you imagine floating on your back and enjoying the
luxury of warm water as it washes over your body? You look up at the sky
and see the palm trees shimmer with the stars peeking out of the clouds
lit up from the moon. That’s one way to handle the heat!

It gets better.

Have a Movie Night party in your back yard pool. Project
the movie on the back wall for example. Put the popcorn in a bowl and
float it on the water! The BBQ food goes on the edge of the pool. And
turn up the outdoor speakers!
